Light up Horncastle as Window Wanderland set to return
Horncastle was the first town in Lincolnshire to take part in Window Wanderland last year, with more than 100 homes, shops and groups taking part in 2021.
And now organiser Dr Ian Marshman is bringing the event back for this Christmas, which sees windows of residents’ homes, businesses, schools, shops or garden transform the town’s streets into a magical outdoor gallery.

Pictured is the Joseph Banks Centre’s Window Wanderland from 2021’s event, which pays homage to the town’s historic horse fair.
Then the event will run for four nights from Thursday to Sunday December 8 to 11, where the designs will be lit up to illuminate the town from 5.30pm to 9pm.
Taking part is free, and everyone is welcome.
